IMPROVEMENT IN CONVER.THNG xvlcmc rxu.

. Specifieafiion fon'ning part of Letters Patent N0. 45252, dated November 29, 1864; antedated 1Je0ember T all whom z't may cmwern ville, in the eounty of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania, have inventecl anew and'useful Improvement; in Devices for G0nv erting Rutary into Reciprocating Motion, and vice versa; und I d0 hereby declaret hah tl1e follow ing is a full, clear, and exact deseription of the san1e, reference being had to the 1000mpanying drawings, making a part 0f t his speeification, in whieh Fignre 1 is a view 0f the device parallel with the planes 0f the rotary motion. Fig. 2 is a neutral section of the same at righangles t0 Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicace correspon(ling parts in both figures.

This invention relates t-0 that kind 0f device for converting rotary into reciproeating motion, anal vice versawhieh is composed 0f n rotary disk 0r plate containin g tw0 straighb slot's crossingits center ab rigl1t angles 110 each other, 2nd a reciproeating rod furnisbecl with two pins to work in 1:he seid slots.

'lhe improvementconsists in construeting the disk 01 plat e Will) an elliptie groove surrounding one 0f the said slots and furnishing the reeiprocatitrg rod with a roller 130 W0rk in the said groove for the purpose of easing the movementofthe pins in the straignt slots and dispensing witl1 the nse 0f sliding boxes in lhe said slots.

T0 enable others t0 make and use my invention, l will proceed to describe its construeti0n and operation.

:A is the rotary disk 01' plate, attaehed. rigidly by eurved arms, a a, t0 a shafo, B, whieh is arranged in suitable fixed bearings.

b and 0 are the slots ero ssing eaeh 0ther at 1 igh angles in tbe center of che disk und extending equal distances 011 eitlzer side 0f the seid eenter.

U is the reeiprocating r0d, an l d and e are tl1e tw0 plus secured t0 the said real t0 work in the sl0t;s b and c. Ehe distanee between the centers 0f these pins is equnl t0 the delength of 1he slots b c is equal 130 at least "DWjGG the intended length 0f stroke of the rod and E is the rollen: attaclxed to the recibroeasing rocl O towork in the seid groove, the seid roll er bei ng arranged. 130 turn freely 011 a pin, f, whieh is secured rigidly to the rod. outside of the twopins d e, and the said groove eompletely surreunding the slot b. Thelength of the ellipse forming the inner side of the groove is equal t0 twice.the di s-' tance between tl1e enter 0f tl1e roIler-pin f and che pin a fartl1est frorn it minus the di ameter of the roller E, and the width of tl1e seid ellipse is equa1 to twice tl1e distance between the cen-ter 0f the roller-pi'n f und pin d nearest mit, minus be di'ameter 0f the rollen The ellipse foxming the outer side of -the groove is just as mueh lnger as to provide wenn in the groove f0r the roller'to run.

Whn rotary motion is given 130 the disk A by tnrning the shaft B, the pin 01 is eause l t0 1n0ve back and forth along the s1ot b antl aeross the sl0t c, and the pin e is eaused t0 move back and forth along; the slot c an d across the slot b, an i the roll'er E to travel wund the groeve D, anal the rod U is thereby caused t0 reeeive a combined longitudinallyreeiproca-ting and laterally-.vibrating motion, making two complete strok'es during every revolution 0f the disk. The rod; O will however, generally be connee ted with a rod er s1icle fitted to guides, and that rod 01 slide Wl1l'dll" fron1 it a simple longitudinalreciprocating motion. By giving a longitudinal movement directly t0 the rod by any suitable means-as for instance by eonnecting it with the piston 0f a steanxenginethe plus d e are eausel so tramel back and fortl1 al0ng the slots. b c and the roller E to 1un round.

the groove D, as before specified, and' a retary m0tion is therebyimparted to Ehe disk, giving' it half arevolution for every strnke of the r0d.

I de 110i: elaim, brozully, the combination 0f a donble-slotted disk and a r0cl havil1g tw0 pins applied t0 w0rk in the sl0ts 0f the disk as herein described; but

What I claim as my invention, und desire t0 seeure by Letters Patent, is

The coxnbination 0f the elliptical groove D and roller E with nhe eroSsgrooves b 0 and. disk A, in the manner and for the purpose herein shown and described.
